Annie Kate crossing the Potomac

Today we started our adventure crossing over the Potomac River from Maryland to Virginia. There used to be 100 Ferry's over the potomac and this is the last one. Today, this boat is still in operation, named after the confederate Civil War General, Jubal A.Early and propelled by a diesel tug named Early's Aid.
I read some history about the increase in price to take the ferry and found this interesting story.
During the '30's, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes took the ferry to Loudon on a jaunt from Washington. He was to return that evening and casually asked, "What would you do if I didn't have a dollar? "If you don't have a dollar mister," Williams replied, "You don't belong in Maryland."
Good thing we weren't living her while Jeff was in school, they may have kicked us out of the state.
It was a fun thing and CAroline liked getting out of the car and looking for Nemo in the river.
